Costa Vida

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Let the staff know I had Celiac disease and staff immediately changed their gloves and led me through possible food choices. Food was really good, the staff was super-friendly and I didn’t get sick. Not a wide variety of protein options for vegetarians, but tasty, safe food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Super impressed. Really tasty food. Put on gloves, everything is used with tongs or spoons to grab. Grilled my homemade corn tacos on foil. They were really careful. I’m super allergic so this was a great experience.

I am very sensitive and have never been cross contaminated here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The workers are very good at changing there gloves when getting the gluten-free corn tortillas, and also changing when they handle my food if they’ve had to handle someone else’s food. I get a little worried because sometimes the utensils they use for the meat, cheese, sauce, etc. sometimes touches the tortillas and goes back in the containers. But so far I’ve only gotten sick once when I’ve gone through the drive thru. So be extra careful when ordering that way.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I told them I had a gluten allergy, they immediately changed gloves and were accommodating. I got the sweet pork salad with cilantro lime vinegarette and it was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff is SO AMAZING. I’ve never gotten sick here and eat here all the time. and I’m a suuuuper sensitive celiac! The one in station park Farmington is by far the best

Celiac friendly?

No

I called ahead to double check and management told me the corn tortillas are made in the same space as the wheat.

Celiac friendly?

No

We used to go here quite a bit for the gluten free options for our daughter. Not sure if they changed management or if they just stopped training people, but they no longer have adequate controls in place to be considered celiac friendly or even gluten free. No bueno.

If you tell them right off that its a gluten free order, they will wash their hands and get new gloves and sub for gf tortillas. My go-to is the sweet pork salad. Definitely my favorite place to safely eat

Changed gloves as soon as I said I’m gluten free and let me know all products besides tortillas are gluten free

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Such friendly staff and great food fast .... i just simply ordered as needing “gluten free” and they immediately change gloves and proceed to ask what you’d like. I have ordered enchiladas the few times I’ve gone... they grab corn tortillas & as soon as they pop my tray in the conveyor oven (to melt cheese) they let the next person know its gluten free coming thru... they too change their gloves. Great service & good food fast!

One of the best gluten free fast-food places in StG and delicious! Ask them for a corn tortilla and they'll ask if it's for an allergy, change gloves, and then let the entire line know.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, so many options! They are more than willing to accommodate celiac needs.

they're very respectful of gluten free and celiac people, as long as you make it clear you'd like it gluten free. they gave me no trouble at all and I've never had any bad reactions to their food

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Employee said he has celiacs and they try really hard to keep things safe. I eat here 3-4 times a month and usually don’t have any issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The place to go for yummy and safe food! I’m a very sensitive celiac and they always deliver a non-contaminated product. Everything but the flour tortillas are gf.

They go above and beyond. Always safe!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, easy to work with on Gf options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I take my husband and daughters (who all have celiac) here often. The cooks change gloves and double check with us before each step of food prep. None of my family members with celiac have ever gotten sick after eating at this location. I highly recommend it.

I’m fairly newly diagnosed so I don’t think about all the ways you can get cross contamination. The person who made my salad did not change their gloves after making a burrito. I did mention I was gluten free, and asked about a few items, just didn’t think about that.

Never had a problem eating here. They are very cautious. They all change their cloves when prepping the food.

Always a hit. Washed hands and changed gloves. Ordered the sweet pork nachos.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Only thing in the restaurant that has gluten is the flour tortillas!! And they’re great about changing gloves etc. recommend if you’re hungry and passing through but the food is pretty gross. Better than risking anything else though

The staff is super nice and they change their gloves and wash their hands. Cross contamination is still an issue I’ve gotten sick here 3 times

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff ask if it’s a gluten allergy and they change gloves to keep it gluten free

Celiac friendly?

No

As delicious and healthy as this place is, I have been contaminated several times. Even after asking them to change their gloves. They were always willing to help and make me feel welcome there. I’m just very sensitive and sadly won’t return. Luckily, I have many friends and family members with CS that can eat here just fine.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten here many, many times and never had any issues. When I tell them I have celiac, each person on the line who has anything to do with my order change gloves immediately.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of options and the staff is knowledgeable regarding GF.

Celiac friendly?

No

Edit 2019: no longer safe. Requests to redo mistakes was met with hostility as long as I watch them and remind them not to touch my food without changing their gloves, this is safe. most the time I don't have to say anything. If they do touch it on accident without changing gloves, they will remake it.

Celiac friendly?

No

Kept getting sick every time I went in. The next time I stood in line, I found out why. They handle the tortillas and dunk their contaminated gloves in ALL of the fixuns... Continuously, making it my gluten nightmare. And I tested with my nima, and sure enough... Positive.

Celiac friendly?

No

Cross contamination made me sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Too much Cross contamination risk for celiacs

Everything in the restaurant is gluten free, except the flour tortillas and the desserts (except the flan). When I tell them I’m gluten free, they change their gloves and treat my item carefully. That being said, the corn tortillas are pressed and cooked on the same griddle as the flour tortillas.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They go above and beyond to make everything safe and gluten-free. The only thing with gluten are he flour tortillas so it makes ordering very easy. I love their chips and queso and the raspberry chipotle chicken salad. The flan is to die for!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Just mentioned really quick that I needed gluten free and I watched every person down the line change their gloves. They clearly have this down

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went in this evening to order dinner for myself and my celiac husband. I ordered their grilled steak salad, gluten free. No sooner were the words out of my mouth than the gentleman behind the counter threw away the tray he had pulled out, replaced his gloves with fresh ones, and grabbed gluten free tortillas. He was careful not to "contaminate" the food at any point in the process. It is delightful to be able to eat somewhere that I don't have to stress about whether it will make my husband sick. Oh, and their sweet pork is to die for.

Very gluten friendly. Its much like Chipotle except much more consistently trained for celiacs. Everything Gfree except tortillas. They always chg gloves and are careful. It's one of my standard spots.

They are amazing! They wash their hands and change their gloves. It's the best gluten free restaurant I know!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They’ve worked really hard over the last few years to get their entire menu gluten free except for the flour tortillas! Costa vidas allergen list on their website shows what is gluten and dairy free if you have concerns. The staff at this location, however, could use a bit of training regarding CC. They changed gloves when I asked, but then left it to another employee to continue taking my salad down the line. I had to stop them before touching with their contaminated gloves. Luckily, I had no issues and most locations are better about staying with your food through the line.I’ve actually been to this location a few times as it’s an easy go-to when I need to travel to Pocatello and haven’t had problems before.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff changed gloves down the line without being asked. The person who took my initial order was very knowledgeable and quick to tell me what was okay. I got the sweet pork salad and ordered it with everything on it, as well as chips and queso. Will definitely go back, it was heavenly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free tortillas are kept separate in a sealed bag, only brought out when asked for. All toppings and fillings are gluten free, save for the regular and whole wheat tortillas, tres leches cake, and key lime tart. The workers gladly change gloves when you two them the order is gluten free, and I have never had a reaction (painfully celiac since 2017)

Celiac friendly?

No

If you have Celiac, this Costa Vida is NOT SAFE! The guy did not wash his hands and put on fresh gloves tonight. He turned around and put a pair of gloves over his dirty pair.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I almost cried when our taco-maker asked if my son’s request for corn tortillas was a preference or an allergy. When she found out he has celiac disease, she washed her hands, changed her gloves and cooked his tacos on foil on the grill to avoid cross contamination. Wish they had one of these in Washington State! Thank you for a wonderful meal!!!

Changed gloves, always good service

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All staff washed hands and changed gloves. When passes to the next staff member they confirmed it was for celiac and then washed their hands. Very happy to do so!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really yummy food and the staff was friendly and accommodating! Be sure to let them know you have an intolerance or celiac (I always say I have an allergy because people seem to take that most seriously). Staff changed gloves and offered to change utensils. Will definitely go back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place to stop at on the way through town. They’ve adjusted their menu so that everything is gluten free except for the flour tortillas. Immediately changed gloves at the mention of a gluten allergy and placed a lid on the salad when finished so that no one else would touch it (even though we were staying in). Very attentive, no issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Theresa is awesome. I’m in here at least once a month. Sometimes a lot more than that. She is always so careful and takes good care of me. Plus she’s almost always there. To date I’ve yet to get sick from here. I’m so grateful.

We ate here recently. It’s set up like Chipotle, but the food tastes better. They said they can make anything gluten-free with a soft corn tortilla. I asked them to change their gloves. The chicken tastes fire-grilled and the rice was some of the best I’ve had anywhere! Neither my son or I got sick, so we were happy! (I’m not positive if the toppings come into contact with flour tortillas or not. That’s something to be aware of.) To melt the cheese, the staff puts the tortilla on aluminum foil on the grill. That’s a great way to do it! They make their tortillas fresh every day. Yum!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are very careful if you need gf. They change gloves, wash their hands, and I’ve had no cross contamination.

My family comes here often since we live so close. My son has celiac and they are very knowledgeable with what items he can have they always wash their hands and change their gloves while making his.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not impressed. I’ve been there a few times and asked for gluten free. The staff did change their gloves but didn’t wash their hands or take any special care of my food. It seems like some employees do and some don’t know how sensitive someone can be. I don’t see employees communicate to each other that my dish is gluten free. My regular Costa Vida is Tooele and I’ve always been happy, never been sick but each time I visit West Jordan I am sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff are all so great, understanding and friendly! They make sure to do things safe and not let cross contamination. There’s a Costa in the town I live in but I always come to this one instead!
